exhibited the grand champion
sample, while Daniel Brubaker,
Ephrata RDI, showed the
reserve champion.
Balmer’s sample was a heat

containing 23.6 percent crude
protein, 21.7 percent crude fiber
and 67 percent estimated total
digestible nutrients (TDN).
Brubaker’s sample contained
22.6 percent crude protein, 22.5
percent crude fiber and 66 per

Ortho Unipel STARTER SPECIAL.
A starter? As a “pop-up"? It has to be special.
It is. STARTER SPECIAL is a completely unique product.
Here’s why:
- Physical Uniformity. STARTER SPECIAL pellets are made
to the same shape and density for maximum consistency and
control in application.
- Chemical Uniformity. Each and every STARTER SPECIAL
pellet has all three primary nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium chemically homogenized in precisely the most
desirable ratio 13-34-10 The nutrients can't separate or
segregate during handling as with troublesome, hard-to
regulate “dry blends.”
- Double Duty Nutrients STARTER SPECIAL has both
quick-acting and long-lasting nitrogen and phosphorus for
thorough plant feeding. There is no urea or diammonium
phosphate that might endanger the seed through liberation
of free ammonia.
Of course, these features also make it highly effective as
a banded starter. But, with only slight adaptation of most
planters, it can be applied directly with the seed in exacting
measurement for safety and maximum response.
With this kind of control, you apply much less material
only 1/3 the amount needed for banding And the reduced
material handling could cut your planting time m half!
So, save time, trouble, and money at planting time. See us
soon about applying STARTER SPECIAL this spring as a
dry “pop-up".
